Logitree offers a flexible, yet easy to use formula that gives you a prepayment discount proportional to your needs. This discount formula offers a net labor discount of up to 25% for customers who are able to pre-purchase labor blocks for labor-intensive solutions, and up to 50% for customers who are able to make the commitment of monthly pre-purchases.
Your discount rate can be determined by specifying the number of hours that you will purchase in advance:| Hours Pre-purchased | Discount Rate |
| 1 - 20 | $97/hr |
| 21 - 60 | $94/hr |
| 61 - 140 | $88/hr |
| 141 + | $75/hr |
Here are some examples:
If your solution requires a Logitree technician for...
40 hours: your discount rate would be $94/hr. Your prepayment of $3,760 for this labor block saves you $240
176 hours: your discount rate would be $75/hr. Your prepayment of $13,200 for this labor block saves you $4,400
40 hours this month and 80 hours in 3 months. You could split this into a purchase of 40 hours now for $3,760 at a rate of $94/hr and 80 hours later for $7,040 at a rate of $88/hr, resulting in a total of $10,800, saving you $1,200. Or you could purchase all 120 hours now for $10,560 at a rate of $88/hr, saving you and additional $240.
If you are able to make the commitment of monthly pre-purchases, you may apply an additional discount , from 2% to 33%, equal to the number of consecutive months you commit to purchase a given range of hours.

Here are some examples:
If your solution requires a Logitree technician for...
- 10 hrs/mo for 2 years: your discount rate would be $97/hr, less 24%, = $75/hr. Your contractual commitment to prepaying $750/mo for 24 consecutive months, combined with your first prepayment of $750, secures this discount rate, saving you $250/mo.
- 21 hrs/mo for 3 years: your discount rate would be $94/hr, less the maximum discount of 33%, = $63/hr. Your contractual commitment to prepaying $1,323/mo for 30 consecutive months, combined with your first prepayment of $1,323, secures this discount rate, saving you $777/mo.
If you wish to specify a discount rate, R (between $95/hr and $50/hr), you can calculate the acceptable commitment length, M for the various ranges of hrs/mo pre-purchased:
| Hrs/mo Pre-purchased | Number of Consecutive Months of Pre-purchases | |||
| Formula | For example, if you wish to receive a discount rate of... | |||
| $85/hr | $72/hr | $60/hr | ||
| 1 - 20 | M=100*(97-R)/97= | 12 months | 26 months | N/A ($65/hr min) |
| 21 - 60 | M=100*(94-R)/94= | 10 months | 23 months | N/A ($63/hr min) |
| 61 - 140 | M=100*(88-R)/88= | 3 months | 18 months | 32 months |
| 141 + | M=100*(75-R)/75= | N/A ($75/hr max) | 4 months | 20 months |
If you wish to specify a number of consecutive months, M (between 2 and 33), that you would like to make a commitment to pre-purchase, you can calculate the discount rate, R, for the various ranges of hrs/mo pre-purchased:
| Hrs/mo Pre-purchased | Discount Rate | |||
| Formula | For example, if you wish to make a commitment to pre-purchase... | |||
| 12 months | 24 months | 33 + months | ||
| 1 - 20 | R=97-(97*M/100)= | $85/hr | $74/hr | $65/hr |
| 21 - 60 | R=94-(94*M/100)= | $83/hr | $71/hr | $63/hr |
| 61 - 140 | R=88-(88*M/100)= | $77/hr | $67/hr | $59/hr |
| 141 + | R=75-(75*M/100)= | $66/hr | $57/hr | $50/hr |
